Wind gusts to 50 mph stirred up big dust clouds along Anchorage streets Sunday, flipped a plane at Merrill Field and sent trees crashing into power lines across the Mat-Su valleys area, igniting blazes there that kept local fire departments hopping.

In Anchorage, most wind-related police calls involved damage done by trees hitting buildings, said Anchorage Police Department dispatch supervisor Eric Anderson.

Wind rattling windows or gusting through a home with an open window also set off

But all I got to say is "It sucked!!!"
It tore up our house real good the only reason why im posting that because im just suprised because we have never had wind like that before But it was creepy my room is on the top floor and shit kept bashing it like wood or something thank god it didnt break though.
arg and about half of the shingles on our roof if thats how there spelled but there all over our house and ground...
but it was shaking our house and probably others like it was a freakin earthquake.....ehhh but its calm now ...hehe it pretty neat to because im not in school because of the winds some of its pretty funny though like ...(From the Anchorage Daily News)

A Midtown McDonald's sign exploded into pieces in the street.

Gusts of up to 71 mph at the Palmer airport shoved an unoccupied DC-3 along the tarmac.

Well thats about all i had to say We probably will have to go out and check on the house soon ...

If a man in a purple robe was crossing a bridge but snaps as he falls to his death and nobody is there to hear does he make a noise?

As for what happened, yeah, that does suck. We've had some of those winds in Wisconsin already. I think down by Scotty, they had winds of over 100mph already. Not sure if it was anyplace near him.
